Renton, WA

Everyone knows about calling 9-1-1, but there are some other three digit codes you can use.

2-1-1 to report non-life threatening emergencies
4-1-1 gets you directory assistance
5-1-1 gets you traffic updates
6-1-1 gets you customer service (with most cell phone companies)

I’m really tempted to try dialing the remaining something-1-1 codes to see what happens. I’m pretty sure I have seen signs with codes to report HOV violators and that sort of thing. If you know of any I am missing, leave me a comment and let me know about it.
